ok so ive done a few casings but havent got any monsters yet just a bunch a little guys but ive been doin small casing anyway. heres the deal i want monsters or at least try for monster shrooms. what is the best substrate casing layer and how much light. right now i give my casing like 5 min of light a day and mist each day but i dont get very big fruits. i suppose becuz its brf.

I have had some great fruits from BRF, but alas if you want monsters then you need to consider the fact that you need to move up to bigger and better things...like poo and straw. A simple search will turn up some great teks! Untill then keep reaching for the stars!!!!

--------------------A piece of advice before we part:
Don't knock of Death's door. Instead ring Deaths doorbell and run away, Death really hates that!

Just keep in mind, once you start bulk; you are starting a whole other level to mycology. One of water %, delecate routines to get precuroser materials to their proper range of use, and a whole LARGER world of contam possibilites.

You need to get some pint or quart jars and make either Rye, Popcorn (my favorite) or WBS spawn. Then you need to learn how to spawn it into poo/straw (or if you don't want to spawn, you can just directly case the grain). For optimum fruit size, a substrate layer of upto 4" will help. You need to step up to fanning 6 times a day or automating air exchange. Make the casing layer a little thicker and keep everything at optimum levels. Pretty much, use grains they will help.
